How fast would you have to move to stay in daylight all the time?

This is a delightful question. You could try doing this at the equator, but that would be your worst choice. The equator is about 25,000 miles long, so you would have to go at a brisk 25,000 miles per hour to stay in daylight without losing gound at all. On the other extreme, during a polar summer you could relax and not move at all. I think what you would have to do is find a circuit just south of the arctic region, so you could avoid the perpetual night of winter. As long as you are at a latitude where there is always a sunrise, you could scoot around the globe at a much slower clip than 25,000 miles per hour, and always be in sunlight. Or you could hop over the arctic circle during the summer, (for rest and re-fueling?) and hop back below it and start zipping around when the sun starts to set. The arctic circle almost touches the northern-most tip of Iceland. A latitude at or just south of the circle would be ideal. With some quick-and-dirty trig, I calculated the length of the arctic circle to be roughly 9,930 miles. So if you travel roughly 9,930 miles per hour just about at the arctic circle, you should maintain sunlight (or darkness) all the time.

Why do wolverines move so fast?
because they stay on the top of the snow
How would a fast-flowing river be most likely to move sand-sized particles of sediment?
The particles would stay on the side of the bank and be known as a runoff.

Do butterfly fly with their wings to move?
Yes, they move them constantly up and down at a supremely fast rate to stay in flight.
What is the difference between stay put and stay still?
Stay put: You could use this on the phone 'stay put and il get back to you' Obviously they are allowed to move, but it shows them that you are trying to find an answer for something. Stay still: Would normally mean physically. You could be talking to your dog 'stay still' which would mean it wasnt allowed to move.
Do liquids particles move around so fast that they don't even stay close together?
Liquid particles are loosely packed in the container. They do move around but the particles are bond to each other loosely. So the liquid particles stay together.
What is a disadvantage of a nomad?
you would consantly move. And not even stay there or you had to fight for the spot
What happens of there is no friction?
Objects would move with constant velocity or stay at rest.
If you touch a penguin what would they do?

What is one benefit of daylight saving time?
one advantage would be that some parents would let their children stay up because if they sent them to bed at the normal time then they might not get to sleep and you get to stay outside longer than on a normal day.
If you set off in daylight and fly from England to Australia would you travel in daylight all the way?
Normally, No, I don't think so. Part of the question has to do with what time of day the flight starts and which direction it goes . To stay in daylight, one would have to leave very, very early at sunrise, then travel west very quickly.Commercial airliners cannot keep up with the movement of sunlight's terminus along the earth. But perhaps a very fast jet could do it -- if it refueled in the air without landing.A commercial airliner would not go west -- it would go east-ish. That would be directly toward the advancing sunset. Perhaps stopping in Mauritius or India.
What causes the daylight runnuing lights to stay on after the ignition is turned off?
